“The only sure answer to tackling the root cause of global warming is to rapidly phase out fossil fuelsopens in a new tab, and to fund a fair, fast and forever phase out and shift to renewable sources of power.

'This means the largest historical emitters of greenhouse gases, and others states which can afford to – including some major fossil fuel producing countries – providing more climate finance to lower-income states.

“People in low-income countries are worst affected by this crisis and have the least means to deal with it. The polluters must pay.

'It is now more essential than ever that the finance required to prevent greater heating, and to allow communities to adapt to the realities of climate change, is significantly scaled up. Failing to act will only increase the costs – both to human rights and to economies.

“Recent floods in Brazil, Kenya and Germany, and record heatwaves in India, other parts of south Asia, and Mexico underline the imminent harm to come from continued global heating unless serious and meaningful action is taken.
